Syntax

set_case_analysis [‑quiet] [‑verbose] <value> <objects>

Usage

Name Description
[-quiet] Ignore command errors
[-verbose] Suspend message limits during command execution
<value> Logic value on the pin: Values: 0, 1, rising, falling, zero, one, rise, fall
<objects> List of ports or pins

Description

Specifies that a pin or port is in a steady state of 1, 0, rising or falling.

This command is usually used to force values onto the ports to help reduce the analysis space, runtime and memory consumption. It is important to let the Vivado timing engine know about signals that have a constant value. This is also critical to ensure that non-functional and irrelevant paths are not reported.

Setting a case value on a pin results in disabling timing analysis through that pin. This means that timing paths through that pin are not reported.

Note: This command returns nothing if successful, or returns an error if it fails.

Arguments

-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
Note: Any errors encountered on the command-line, while launching the command, will be returned. Only errors occurring inside the command will be trapped.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
Note: Message limits can be defined with the set_msg_config command.

<value> - (Required) The value to use on the port or pin for timing analysis. The valid values are 0 or zero, 1 or one, rise or rising, fall or falling. When the values ris(e)(ing) or fall(ing) are specified, the given pins or ports are only considered for timing analysis with the specified transition. The other transition is disabled. The default setting is 1.

<objects> - (Required) One or more ports or pins on which to apply the <value>.

Examples

In the example below, two clocks are created on the input pins of the BUFGMUX, clock_sel, but only clk_B is propagated through the output pin after setting the constant value 1 on the selection pin S:
create_clock -name clk_A -period 10.0 [get_pins clock_sel/I0]
create_clock -name clk_B -period 15.0 [get_pins clock_sel/I1]
set_case_analysis 1 [get_pins clock_sel/S]
